So, here's an update. I got a drill and used a 22 wire brush, and then went back in with a 9mm wire brush to clean out the proximal end of the barrel. I also re-polished the feed ramp, and I used some Eley ammo. I probably had about 3 or 4 mags (fully loaded) that cycled great. Later on in...

I emailed CMMG and told them everything that was happening and what I had done to the feed ramp. They said the most important mod is to use a drill and wire brush to really polish the proximal end of the barrel. So, I'm gonna give that a go. I did it by hand, but they said using a drill and...

"I'd have suggested you call CMMG (or use their web site "contact us Email) before "polishing" anything." The link I posted contains a message directly from CMMG suggesting this modification... "Its pretty easy to miss this in the instructions that come with the conversion kit of upper."...

I have a Stag Arms AR with the CMMG dedicated 22 upper, not the conversion kit. I'm having serious problems with mis-feeds! I found this link here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_15/526872_How_to_make_your_AR_22_run_smoother_NOW_with_pictures.html&page=1 So, I brushed out the proximal end of...

Yah, I just posted in the other field about the 22lr conversion, I got what you're saying about the blow-back vs gas loading. See my other post. I'm gonna wait to talk to a friend that has just opened a shop before I buy. Thanks for the info, and I'll post back about what he says.

Thanks for the heads-up on the blow-back system. I just found a friend of a friend that's in the process of opening a shop and does gun-smithing. I'm gonna wait and talk to him tomorrow and see if there is a way to safely modify the 22 upper to blow off the chambering gas (I have NO idea if...

So, I'm looking to pick up an AR-15 this weekend. My LGS has Ruger, Sig, S&W, and Bushmaster. I'm planning on buying (once they're in stock) a dedicated upper for 22lr and then disabling the gas tube for a single shot action (hunting in PA). I know the Ruger 556 is a piston system. I'm not...

Just to add to the post, if anyone cares. Here's what I'm shooting for (excuse the pun): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPmVnEMSWGY And here's an upper with bolt assembly. http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17733&cat=256&page=2 I checked the American Spirit website...

Some interesting developments...well, not really, but some new ideas anyways. No matter what, I'm going to get an AR, so, that being said, google searching has possibly presented some options. There's an LGS that's having a sale this weekend and they're knocking off $100 on their Ruger 556's...

A little background info, I used to shoot a bit when I was younger, but nothing crazy. I wouldn't consider myself a "gun guy." I have, however, recently purchased a couple of pistols and have been shooting at the range anywhere from 1-3 days a week. I would like to do some small game hunting...
